ВЫСОКИЙ ПОРОГ ВХОЖДЕНИЯ!!!!
Ich liebte es, ich liebe es! Ein besonderes Weltraumspiel das heute immer noch spaß macht!
A hidden gem of spacesims. If it would be more popular, newton-based space physics would be the norm
This is a fantastic classic space game. the story is captivating and you will not regret the purchase, It's hard but once you get in you will be amassed at how well they did it back in the day.
Best space game ever
great space combat, unlike anything else
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Sprache zu ändern? Ich hatte Edge of the Chaos in Deutsch. Soweit ich bisher gesehen habe, gibt es keine.
Wo ist bitte derEinzelspielermodus/ Kampagne?! Multiplayer interessiert mich nicht !!
Honestly this game when it come out in box, many years ago was a marvelous game, with a lot of story, different ships, your base, and a lot of hours of pleasure. To that original one I gave 10/10 But the one available on Steam is just a piece a crap and I am nice, where they disabled the possibility to play alone and it is totally unplayable, I give to that one 1/10, I am very disappointed with that one
I-War comes from a different time and stands proud next to Freelancer in my heart in terms of the fun I had. All my playtime comes from the CD version: Steam was just the platform I picked it up again "just in case" in a sale (and so I never forgot!). I gather though that Steam's version has some issues - so might not be the best to grab (just to get the time to write this review I was sat on the "insert CD" screen, for example, so there's that). Anyway - if you enjoy narrative space sim games that give you freedom enough that while you have a story to follow, you *also* absolutely will not be babysat as it pats you on the backside and says "have at it, kid"? You'll like I-War is where it's at. Sure, visually speaking this won't blow you away, but it has the visual charm of early noughties cinematics and style. Where I came to fall in love is that over a decade after release on a re-play I found the modding community - where you can absolutely improve things with things like Custom Jafs (tired of him talking? Also want him in a *Superfrieghter* with tons of capacity while you *YARR* your way around spacelanes? Get this!) and more. It's these kinds of things that made me fall in love all over again - it's not just something you can blitz through as there's an element of skill to actually progress and beat, but once done once? You'll absolutely want to do it again with the new knowledge, take your time more and build things up. Heck I'd ply the spacelanes for ages just for the entertainment value of Jafs bringing in haul after haul, then on saving my game to clock off for the session admire the wealth of stuff I was now going to either sell or have available in future. When you get far enough through to unlock all the ships and finally be in a position to get your two AI fighters (piloted by your crewmates) on the largest ship? It's sheer joy. I-War felt ahead of it's time, leaving me hoping for decades now that we'd see a sequel at some point, a continuation or at least in-universe spinoff. Who knows, maybe someday.
